Description
This course can be a module of the full 4 day Phast Advanced training or can be delivered standalone. This is a comprehensive course on the discharge models available within Phast.

Topics covered include:

• Instantaneous releases
• Long pipelines
• Discharge from vessel/orifice and short pipes
• Time-varying discharge
• Long pipelines
• Pool evaporation
• Warehouse fires

For each model the course covers the input variables, selection of suitable parameter values, and interpretation of the various reports and graphs. During the course, students will be required to practise and apply their new knowledge of the software through extensive hands-on workshops.

Learning objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will understand the theoretical and practical aspects of the Phast discharge models. Participants will have a much more detailed knowledge of the discharge models available within Phast than those who have attended the Phast Introduction course only. They will have a much better understanding of the capabilities of the models, and their limitations, along with more detailed understanding of the controlling parameters.

Target group
People who need to carry out detailed consequence modelling calculations using Phast and need a good understanding of the theoretical basis of the discharge calculations available within the software.
